Russian troops didn't do all that...there are plenty of first hand accounts and video evidence of wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure by the retreating Ukrainian forces. There is also plenty of evidence the Ukrainian "heroes" purposely placed heavy equipment and took up firing positions in residential areas, drawing the inevitable response.
I think the total devastation of the entire city speaks to Putin’s goal of the underground resources in Ukraine.
Mariupol is NOT totally destroyed... in fact electric and water services have already been restored in parts of the city. A rough estimate is only 50% of the buildings are beyond repair. This will become a priority once Ukraine has been formally partitioned...😨
That's a great example of Russian propaganda that requires you to suspend any logical thinking to believe. How did "retreating" Ukrainian forces destroy anything since they were supposedly surrounded and holed up in the Azovstal steel works? Are you saying the Ukrainian soldiers in Mariupol did not get surrounded and then surrender?
How exactly did the Ukrainian soldiers who were surrounded inside the steel works go out and launch rockets and artillery at the apartment buildings to destroy them?
The Russian propaganda just falls apart as soon as you think about it for five seconds.
